Lucifer kinda wrote himself out of the story when he left the universe.
I *think* I know what you're talking about but, if I'm correct, you're misremembering.
He might be referring to when Grayven visited the DC cinematic universe, stopped Steppenwolf's whole plot and then posed as an evil alien conqueror (which he kinda is and kinda isn't?) to still instigate a Justice League; he even released the governments of the world's crimes through the internet.
Years back Mr Zoat literally said he wrote Lucifer out because he was too powerful.
If he still existed he would have shown up when OL attacked his homeworld.
Against Lanterns he's literally an unstopable force unless heavily nerfed.
Why?
Paul isn't exactly a standard Lantern, and you also need to stop making things up.
He does care about it though.
General reminder that Doomsday's resistance to energy based effects exceeds Omega Beam level.
That should say 'if'.
He left the place in the hands of beings that have the word tyrant in their names.
I know you don't read anything anyone posts, but hopefully you'll read this.
Thank you, corrected.
Ah, Glorious Nippon, Land of the Rising Sun, which I assume still decorates their flag these days. A small nation with big dreams, which in our history were squashed by the giant they awoke... Here, they seem a little more confident.
True, though it still feels rude to say it so plainly, and the Japanese do dislike direct rudeness...
Again, very much understating the facts. Copies of Western designs, made with lower-quality materials and poorly trained crews... Also not that useful in a war across the Pacific Rim, whose islands are many and small.
And somewhat less gently than the way it dissolved in our history.
At the minimum understanding from context, China never underwent its 1911 revolution as successfully as it did in our world, and parts still mostly dwell under the old rule of the Qing? Or perhaps a more radical conflict that had setbacks it didn't in our history?
Joy of not actually knowing the setting.Indeed, the very character of each region is very different. Which would make a lot of the methods used by the Western powers much less effective for their Eastern colleagues.
Even if supplying both sides of a conflict is more profitable. But your buyers might get a little annoyed when they find enemy materiels basically identical to their own except in labelling.
And while the later Qing tried to institute reforms to lessen internal tensions and keep pace with outside advancements... They weren't always successful.
A bit of an oversight. Having someone at least knowledgable about modern military equipment would have been sensible.
Ah, political skullduggery. Kato being the least objectionable candidate for the position to the collective command. And as mentioned, he wouldn't have been here if his actual leanings were known.
Giving them so much as a jot of... What's the best word... Courtesy? Consideration? ...Being very much beyond their temperament right now, eh?
Especially if they're trying to keep a stranglehold on their advanced technology. Selling guns and tanks are one thing, but knowledge of their construction methods might be a bit much. Even if they know some of that sold stock will be getting dismantled for study...
In our history, it was total annexation, if I remember right.
Fortunately, Australian soldiers turned out to be a bit meaner than they expected in the New Guinea jungle, and a full land invasion of a country as large as the mainland US would be a bit tricky without extensive preparation.
Okay, still a risk of plans or the like being stolen outright, but limiting what the local manufacturing has available would help to curb that risk.
In other words... Will they want the British weaponry enough to decide Germany is... Shall we say, kaput?
Very astute. Even if his selection may have been a political one, he does know his stuff.
Quid Pro Quo, after all. You scratch their back...
So there's a good hope of success. It just comes down to horse-trading.
How ironic. A Japan interested in building nuclear weaponry...
...Ah, let me guess. the Germans want to talk? That's the only matter pressing enough for this interruption.
Ah, so the Republic has been formed, but not pushed away or crushed its rivals entirely yet. "The Land, once whole, now divides..."
Japanese politeness in fine display. The depth of a bow is a very significant thing in these matters.
As expected. Very few forms of armour negate the force of an impact entirely and without science-fiction technology, all that kinetic energy has to go somewhere, namely into the soft bits of the torso.
Surprised they haven't been working on a cooling system small enough to be man-portable.
Never underestimate the value of a living soldier compared to a wounded or dead one.
Certainly, the technology existed back then, it just didn't have as lightweight the materials for plates as we do now.
I think you completely misunderstood what I wrote.
Only if you're American. The British still mostly call them 'tanks' and the Germans call them 'armour'.
